How worrying for you its very difficult to try and act normal and calm when you have no idea about it. Good luck for your next appointment and I hope all works out in the end xxx

It sucks not knowing how things could go. It could be fine the entire pregnancy or it could take a turn for the worse at any given minute. Based on what I'm reading about the steroid treatment, they're planning on me having him between 24-34 weeks. I'm honestly jealous of women (friends of mine) who are having a worry free pregnancy but complain about every little symptom. I'm the type of woman who loves pregnancy regardless of the not so fun symptoms.

Went to the perinatal specialist last week. They don't think it's a cyst now but the can't say for sure. They're calling it a uterine defect. The extra sack is possibly from my previous c section. The way they explained it is that there should be three layers between the baby and this extra sack; the uterus, a thin layer or mucus, then a layer of muscle. The problem is that by the looks of it, the layer of muscle is missing (maybe it didn't heal back together after my c section). So with there only being two thin layers between the sack and the baby, they're scared that it's going to burst and cause problems. I go for another sonogram this Friday. Then next week I'll be 24 weeks so I'll start going twice every week for a sonogram and stress test. Also, next week they're giving me steroid 2 injections, 24 hours apart, to strengthen the baby's organs in case I go early. They're planning on doing a c section when I'm 36 or 37 weeks, if I make it that far. Hoping for the best, preparing for the worst.

Wow. I hope we can follow your journey. Sounds like you are getting good care and that your team has everything under control.

I appreciate everyone who is following me, not just for the support but to be more aware of things like this that happen. I still find it odd that I have the best specialist around but they've never seen anything like this before. However, they seem to be good at what they do and they're keeping a close eye on me and the baby. I'll keep posting weekly updates for those who are still following.
